Today is Saturday so naturally we had baseball excitement all day. As Joe and Austin got home from the last game, a storm ripped through here. Joe pulled into the driveway and, because it was raining so heavily, thought that he'd better stay put in the truck for a minute so he didn't get drenched. Actually, I'm just guessing that's what he was thinking. He could have been thinking about ice cream. Or the Cubs/Sox game. Or Corvettes. Or fluffy little bunnies. OK, maybe not fluffy little bunnies.

Anyway, for whatever reason, he paused and didn't get out of his truck right away. It's a good thing too. Because this is what happened in that minute that he paused.

See? If it hadn't been for the torrential rain, he would've gotten out and the branch would have hit him. Who says the rain is bad?

Are you as sick of all this rain as I am? I'm in the Detroit area so we get the stuff a few hours after you do. I'm guessing the storm that I heard last night was the same one that blew through your area and dropped the tree branch. It keeps filling our pool over the "max" line. Our lawn looks like a jungle and a swamp.

A few years ago we were camping when astorm came up. We were all in the tent. The storm blew a huge tree branch onto the top of our suburban. It landed on the xcargo car top carrier, smashed it in and slid off the roof. It did not damage the burb.

I love how we all (bloggy people) think to grab our cameras at times when normal people, not that you aren't normal or that I'm not normal..well...normal people would move the tree off the car. Look at the damage.

Me I just want people to believe my stories and without pictures most of my stories could easily be passed off as BS.

Glad that everyone is ok. My first thought was "They just got a new vehicle!"

P.S. I tried sending this through to you the other day. A blog "award" was shared with me and I was told to share it with others. You're one of my others. Enjoy.http://outnumberedbythebrood.blogspot.com/2008/06/sharing-bloggity-love.html

I'm glad no one was hurt! These storms we've been having lately are driving me buggy. One day it's hotter than you-know-what, the next day you drag out the sweats and bundle up. Do you wear your hair up or down? crazy!
